Donald Trump’s lead in New Hampshire narrows a little

The poll found the most support for Rubio in a theoretical three-man race for the nomination, with 34% picking the Florida senator compared with 33% for Trump and 25% for Cruz.

He also claimed that Mr Cruz’s campaign sent out a notification to Iowans warning that not caucusing on Monday would be a violation. But by Wednesday, Trump, a prolific Twitter user, had changed his tune. On CNN Newsroom Wednesday, Baldwin said “when Senator Cruz, with all due respect, tries to throw my network and CNN under the bus, let me stand up for my colleagues and journalists here…we reported it accurately”, she said on air. Asked which primary they would vote in, 42 per cent of independents said the Democratic contest and 40 per cent chose the Republican race. “Let’s give it a shot.’ They said, ‘Don’t do it.’ I said, ‘I have to do it.’ And, we finished second, and I want to tell you something, I’m just honored, I’m really honored”, Trump said.

Donald Trump continued Wednesday to lament the response to his second-place finish in Iowa’s caucuses. Mr Rubio is trying to be the Republican establishment’s preferred alternative to Mr Trump or Mr Cruz. Mr Carson, who came fourth in Iowa – behind Mr Cruz, Mr Trump and Florida Senator Marco Rubio – also accused the Cruz campaign and its surrogates of spreading false rumours that he was suspending his presidential bid.

Palin wrote that it was a “dirty trick” for Cruz’s campaign to fuel speculation about Carson while voters were participating in the state’s caucus.

“He thinks we’re all about money, but there’s a lot of caring people in NY”, he said.

If Trump somehow managed to reach the high threshold needed for a legitimate challenge to the results, he’d have to take his complaint to Iowa’s Republican Party, which may or may not have any sympathy for the real estate mogul’s grievance. Cruz took 28 percent, followed by Trump at 24 percent.

Christie was averaging more than 10 percent in New Hamshire polls in December and early January, before super PACs supporting other candidates hit him with a barrage of negative television ads.

“I don’t know who’s going to win between Bernie and Hillary”.

The Cruz campaign said Trump’s fraud complaint was a cry for attention after the senator came from behind in the polls to beat him on Monday.

That’s why Andrew Cline says that if Donald Trump wins the Republican Primary there, it could spell the end of the importance of the Granite State’s first-in-the nation primary. “I think some people were disappointed that I didn’t go into the debate”.
